Summary ​
ALTUMAL05_MICASENSE (Altum AL05 Series) is a legacy multispectral instrument operated by MicaSense on UAV. It is associated with a uav platform and has private data availability.
NOTE
This configuration applies to Altum cameras with serial numbers beginning with AL05. The start date uses the guide revision that documented the updated spectral configuration because its exact production date is not specified. Imaging extension values describe the multispectral imagers, with GSD specified at 120 m above ground level. The thermal imager has a 57 degree HFOV, 44.3 degree VFOV, 1.77 mm focal length, and 0.81 m GSD at 120 m. MicaSense identifies Altum as discontinued but does not provide an exact retirement date.
